Gerry, I’m am going to be spending a few weeks on the Cape like I do every year, I gotta track you down this year. I’ll be bringing my Daimler (right hand drive, of course) with me. A blast to drive, you’re gonna love it.

Hi Raymond,
Yes I broke my snow shovel, so I had to move  
You gotta tell me more about the Daimler though, I owned a 1967 420 Soveriegn back in the UK, best car I ever owned, I love old cars

1973 Daimler Double Six. 70K miles (yeah they still used miles in the U.K. back then) I am the 2nd owner, the guy who I got it from blew up the 12 cylinder engine in ‘84, replaced it with a new LT-1 Corvette enginge. Fast as hell, I once got it up to 125 on the Jersey Turnpike and was still 2000 RMP from the redline. It the only one in the country that I know of. It looks like a Series II Jag XJ12, but without those hidious bumpers and all that other safety and fuel efficiency nonsence. Gets about 6 MPG, but seats 6 in absolute luxury. I would use it as my inspection vehicle, but it looks kinda silly with a 26’ ladder strapped to the roof
Iv'e also got a '63 TR-4 sitting in the garage. Havent taken that out in a couple of years, though. Too busy.
The volvo gets all the use now. I beat the stones out of it, but somehow it starts up every morning.

Hi Raymond,
Nice, believe it or not I just sold a 1963 TR4 to move down here, it was under restoration and I did not want to ship it, a guy from the Cape bought it to finish the restoration, as fot the Double Six, very nice I have always wanted an XJ12C of a similar era, I am actually looking for an XJ12 for my regular road car (folding ladders are wonderfull)

I just listed the numbers so that I did not give the answer away.

That’s why I do my reports at home. It makes it harder to F up when you have all the references at your finger tips. Or, if all else fails you can always ask the wonderful folks at NACHI.
– I have put the past behind me,
where , however, it now sits, making rude remarks.
